Does anybody out there want to team up with me to compete in the “Intelligent Use of Water” video competition? I’d love to try it, but I’ll need a partner.

Here’s a quick description of the opportunity:

Now is your opportunity to help raise awareness of the need to conserve and protect water. Create a short film proposing an intelligent way to manage and efficiently use the earth’s most precious resource. Submit your entry by August 15, 2007. Finalists will be presented at a screening event in Los Angeles, and cash prizes total $9,000.

The full contest description and rules are posted here: http://www.iuowfilm.com.

If you’ve got a brain full of water conservation solutions, I’ve got a camcorder, a big collection of stock footage, and the gift of gab. I’m handy with scripts, lighting, editing, and audio.

• I can do serious video like this.
• I can also do funny stuff like this, too.

But I need somebody with a great idea that I can turn into a winning video. It helps if you’re in the Washington DC metro area, but if you’ve got a good internet connection, geography is a surmountable obstacle. The rules do not require those who participate to be U.S. citizens.
